Kyiv, May 1 (Hibya) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Russia carried out attacks overnight on the regions of Odesa, Kyiv, and Sumy, as well as Kropyvnytskyi and its surrounding area, and also on the Kharkiv and Cherkasy regions.
President Zelensky stated that cleanup operations continue at the residential building in Odesa struck by a Russian drone. He said that numerous fires broke out in the city overnight, adding, “In total, Odesa was attacked by 21 drones. Unfortunately, there were casualties. I extend my condolences to the families and their loved ones.”
Zelensky also reported that the regions of Odesa, Kyiv, Sumy, Kropyvnytskyi and its surroundings, as well as Kharkiv and Cherkasy, were attacked during the night. “In the Kharkiv region, rescue teams are still battling fires. Just last night, Russian forces used 170 drones against Ukraine,” he said.
Zelensky emphasized that Russia has been ignoring the United States’ proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire for more than 50 days and continued:
“Russia responded to all of this with new bombings and new attacks. Therefore, strong diplomatic pressure is needed. Constant pressure is essential to force Russia into silence and negotiations. The more effective the sanctions are, the more incentive Russia will have to end the war.”
